Back for awhile, I have been busy

Other than my post yesterday (product rant) I have been out of the photo business lately. The holiday season was mad crazy for me this year, no pictures believe it or not. I got laid off from my full time job 3 weeks ago and have been filling in at the fire house when I can ( I am a part time firefighter).

Because of the economy, a lot of people are using wood burning stoves to heat their houses. More so now than before. We have had an increase in house fires like you wouldn't believe. Back in 2003 we went 18 months without a structure fire. 18 months. Just in the last three weeks I have been at seven yes seven house fires. We saved about all but 3 of them. Most of these fires were due to poor or dirty wood burners.

Here are a few pictures, the first one shows the back of me and the rest, well just for show.

CLEAN YOUR WOOD BURNERS!
